Abstract:
The Delaware Water
Resources Center will provide two graduate fellowships that support projects
addressing water quality, water supply, or water resource policy. These fellowships
will provide a unique opportunity for graduate students and faculty to become
directly involved in multi-disciplinary research that will contribute to the
scientific basis for state policy decisions on water resources. Fellowships
are supported up to a maximum of three years provided satisfactory progress
toward project objectives is maintained. Graduate Fellows are required to
(i) make a presentation each year describing their progress at a meeting that
will be organized by the Delaware Water Resources Center; (ii) prepare an
annual report that summarizes their accomplishments and submit it to the Delaware
Water Resources Center. The request for proposals for these fellowships will
be issued in January of 2003. Proposals will be reviewed by the DWRC Advisory
Panel in May of 2003 and graduate students may begin their projects in June
of 2003.
